Hotel Villa Aurora
Villa Aurora Hotel, born form a historical villa near Florence, once a theatre entertaining the British nobility, built by Sir W.B. Spence, is situated in Fiesole, an old town that lies in the luxuriant hills dominating the Florentine skyline. History of the old Villa Aurora in the town of Fiesole
The town of Fiesole is rich of archaeological finds from its ancient Etruscan and then Roman past. Here, where time seems to stand still amongst the centuries-old cypress trees and ancient ruins of Tuscany, stands the hotel Villa Aurora, once a theatre entertaining the British nobility built by Sir W. B. Spence.
After the performances, the wealthy English lord would entertain his guests and the members of the ‘Walking Men’s Club’ – that is the many British citizens who would arrive on foot from their nearby villas – inviting them to take refreshments in this corner of paradise.
After the pieces, he invited them to the Hosteria. This old tavern was already a landmark on the city maps of the period, but it was around that time that it was named ‘Aurora’, after the great fresco “L’Aurora” by Guido Reni which adorned the façade of the theatre.
The hotel has been built around a 19th-century theatre-villa in the city's historical centre. 24 rooms and suites with air-conditioning, direct- dial phone, minibar, satellite tv, private safes, hydro-massage, and on request D/sauna. Cocktail service, small meetings and conferences, restaurant and bar with a breathtaking view of Florence.
